robbogoal Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 There is another thread talking about the empty seats today. It got me o thinking about the Scotish Governments new ad about returning 'home' to Scotland. In it they have Sean Connery, a few more famous Scots including Jambo Chris Hoy. If Hearts were to do a similar ad to entice folk back, or for people to become Hearts supporters, who would you put in it and why? Fot those there every week, dont ingnore but think of inspiring, famous Jambos who inspire you or who you admire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Slightly off topic but how much of a ****ing ***** is Sean Connery. Preaching to us about independance, telling us how much he loves Scotland, from his house in the Canary Islands!!!! If Scotland means that much to you mate, get your arse back and start paying your ****ing taxes. And at the same time make up your mid up once and for all if its Celtic or Rangers MOD EDIT Rant Over The guy who wasn't the annoying camp Irish one from D:Ream is a big Jambo.

Narrative Arc Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 if this advert is aimed at bringing Scots home for next years Burns celebrations, why is it being broadcast here? Seems a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once met the Vice President of Pfizer. He is an ex-Edinburgh boy but now based in the US near Boston. He had arranged a business trip to the UK and had comandeered the company jet to being him to Edinburgh so he could take in a match before flying out. It was a Motherwell home game (the Ricardo Fuller game) and I remember him wanting a ticket for the Main Stand as that was where he watched the matches in his Edinburgh days. I still think of him ...... Boston to Edinburgh for a home game against Motherwell and to watch it with a pillar blocking the view of some of the pitch!!!!

Sydney from Sydney Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 There is another thread talking about the empty seats today. It got me o thinking about the Scotish Governments new ad about returning 'home' to Scotland. New Zealand launched a similiar scheme last year to entice ex pat Kiwis back home and offered tax free periods to settle back into the country. Was a very attractive little package and quite successful. I've been gone from Scotland for many years and although I love the place it would take a lot more than Sean Connery to convince me to return. Really don't see the connection. Scotland and Connery. He'd do the country a favour by keeping quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill duff Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The ad is allover the US as well. I get weekly updates from VisitScotland about it. Silly if you ask me. VisitScotland (or the old STB as I call them) better get their heads out of thier backsides and do something positive for a change. I can understand why they have used Connery and Lulu, as the ham shanks recognise the association, but they don't know the rest of the story. Typical political BS.

Sean has paid more money to the UK Treasury than you could every dream of making in your life time. Reminds me of a biblical tale, about a rich man and a poor man contributing money to the house of god. If a man has paid the same percentage of his earnings as every other man, then they are of equal footing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London to Edinburgh doesn't sound nearly as impressive! Ok ..... should have mentioned the meeting was to be in Switzerland. So his travel route was Boston to Edinburgh then buoyed up having seen a great game onwards to Switzerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
